Anyone up for a long drive this sunday?

Probably do what we did last time up past Whistler and Pemberton ( pics from last time )? Weather pending? Meet at around 9am at the Church again?
I've got one set of radios. Might be something good to have some new Vancouver people join us for?

I think Stoner makes a spray on tar removing foam? Like SUPPOSEDLY won't strip wax and only attacks bugs and tar. But I'd wash it and go over it with a clay bar just to be safe.

But hey, I think the highlight of this drive is past whistler and pemberton, after pemberton, no cops, no traffic, no construction nothing but 40kph hairpins and breathtaking scenery (well, weather pending I guess) =)
but don't worry, this is a friendly/spirited drive, if ppl want to speed/race, this is not a sunday cruise for you.

yup did the claybar then wax cleaner.. the wax cleaner removed all the tar.. took about 4 hours doing the whole thing.. sure took a long time..

anyways i wish i could go on sunday but i won't be in town. maybe next time. and i'm not sure if i want to go through whistler again know those road tar is a pain to get rid of..

I see..... oh well maybe next time then!
I haven't washed my car in 2 weeks so I was planning on getting it as dirty as possible before I do my big wash/wax routine next week!
